Background information suspenders:
Suspenders used to be called "trouser lifters". They consist of straps or
ribbons that are placed over the shoulder and attached to the waistband at the
front and back. The basic idea was to prevent the trousers from slipping so that
the waistband remains in the correct position - the waist height. Already in
1736 the diplomat and publisher Benjamin Franklin introduced the braces at the
fire department uniform in Philadelphia. At that time it was claimed that he had
copied the idea from the gallows. At the time of the French Revolution braces
found their way into France known as "Bretelles". It is said that Napoleon liked
to wear them decorated with honey bees, which stood as a symbol for his Corsican
origin. The Dutch name for braces "Bretels" has its origin in the French word.
From 1850 on, braces were most often worn with a Y-shaped back. Previously, it
was mainly X- or H-shaped backs that were worn. At that time, braces were
fastened to trousers with buttons. In 1897 an American invented a metal clip
with which the suspenders could be clipped to the waistband. Although G.C. Hale
did not invent braces, he applied for a patent in 1885 for braces with a
Y-shaped back. At the beginning of the 20th century, braces were part of the
clothing of workers, who were not necessarily regarded as trendsetters then or
now. However, the workers also wore suspenders primarily because of their
practicality, since - unlike belts - they did not constrict the waist when
bending down. The fine society, on the other hand, wore tailor-made suits and at
that time hid their braces under their jackets. In the course of time, for
fashionable reasons, this class of society began to wear belts, but in the
1950s, braces remained a popular item of clothing with jeans or chinos. Film and
series classics such as "The Waltons", "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" or "The
Sting" vividly show the classic combination of shirt and loosely cut trousers,
which are held in the perfect position with suspenders.
